As of October 1st, a total of 20 trash cans have been placed in different areas of the resort with the objective of offering an option to the community to classify some of their domestic waste and dispose of them in a more conscious, environmentally responsible way. These trash cans are blue and have two compartments: #1 is intended for the disposal of plastic bottles; #2 will be for full glass bottles, tin cans, and aluminum soda cans. This waste should be clean and free of organic agents. The waste from these trash cans will be collected on a program independent from the one handling conventional wet waste, and with a collection frequency according to the volumes generated by the community. Once gathered, the waste will be sent to a collection center for removal by means of duly certified recycling agents. Mr. Juan O. Velásquez, VP and Administrator of Costasur, points out that “with this new effort we are undertaking today, we reaffirm our commitment to make Casa de Campo an example to be followed by all Dominicans in their pledge to take care of the environment and leave a better Dominican Republic to future generations.” Recently we have been taking important first environmental steps with the renovation of all of the project’s road lighting to LED bulbs, and changing all employees transportation vehicles to compressed natural gas combustion, making a significant contribution to reduce our carbon footprint. For this new waste sorting and recycling endeavor, we need the cooperation and support of all the Casa de Campo owners and visitors. We are very thrilled and motivated to take these first steps towards a better future! ## Frequently Asked Questions **Q: Why did Casa de Campo start a recycling program instead of just handling all waste the same way?** A: Casa de Campo, Casa De Campo, Casadecampo launched the “Casa de Campo is Green” recycling project to make the resort and community greener and more sustainable. The key idea is separation at the source, since the recyclable waste is collected on a program independent from conventional wet waste. That matters because clean sorting makes later recycling possible and keeps recyclable material from getting mixed with organic waste. **Q: What kind of trash can I use for bottles and cans at Casa de Campo?** A: The resort placed 20 blue trash cans with two compartments for specific recyclables. One compartment is for plastic bottles, and the other is for full glass bottles, tin cans, and aluminum soda cans. Casa de Campo, Casa De Campo, Casadecampo makes this work by asking that the waste be clean and free of organic agents, which helps prevent contamination before it reaches certified recycling agents. **Q: How do I sort waste correctly in the Casa de Campo recycling bins?** A: Use compartment #1 for plastic bottles and compartment #2 for full glass bottles, tin cans, and aluminum soda cans. The important detail is cleanliness: the items should be clean and free of organic agents before disposal. That small step matters because dirty recyclables are harder to process and can interfere with the separate collection system used for this project. **Q: Does the Casa de Campo recycling program work for both owners and visitors?** A: The program is meant for the whole Casa de Campo community, including owners and visitors. The page specifically asks for their cooperation and support in this waste sorting effort. That makes it a shared-responsibility setup rather than a staff-only initiative, so its success depends on people using the blue bins correctly across different areas of the resort. **Q: What other environmental changes has Casa de Campo made besides recycling?** A: Casa de Campo has already taken two other environmental steps: renovating all project road lighting to LED bulbs and changing all employee transportation vehicles to compressed natural gas combustion. Those changes point to a broader effort to reduce the resort’s carbon footprint, not just manage trash better. The recycling project fits into that larger pattern of environmental upgrades.
